Three beers, two guys, and one confused blog entry

When last we left our fearless blogger, he was in the middle of a quandary, a big ole WTF?

So Monday after work, I meet up with "Thad" at a local brewery. I chose a dark ale, Thad selected a fruit flavored lighter beer. (like i know my beer brew terms...whatever).

We chat about this and that...a little about work...poker...how he was very impressed when I recognized him at Barnes & Noble a few months ago, and came over to say hi. (little does he know a friend spotted him coming in when we were having coffee on a Sunday and was like oh, check that out! So I practically spilled my white chocolate mocha, knocked over small children, swept magazines off the racks, and hurdled over the Bargain Book Bin to say, oh hi, how are you?"

I ask how the girlfriend is doing...he replies, 'oh she's fine...she's at home now (apparently they live together)...so I said oh do you live together...he says...well that's like our relationship...on again, off again, sometimes I don't know what I want, other times I don't want her around. It's a mess.

Change of subject please...

Reality TV? Sure! I fessed up that I'm a huge fan of Project Runway, and he says, "oh that's on Bravo, right? I don't get it anymore, sucks too, because I miss watching Blow Out and Queer Eye. I just smiled politely and nodded.

Three beers later, (we paid for our own first round, he volunteered to buy the 2nd, so I of course got the third), we headed downstairs to play some pool, and he got another beer. I suck at pool...I haven't played in probably 28 years, but hey I had to be nice. So after some trick shots and some not so trick shots, he won and it was time to go after two games. He still had 3/4 a beer left and hands it to me and says here, you need to help me finish this so we can go.

Whatever.

He walked me to my jeep and said I had fun, let's do it again soon.

Whatever.

Cry for help? Or just really friendly guy? I'm guessing it's the latter

Now I could list a host of other 'oddities' about Thad's sexuality. I could also cite The DaVinci Code, the Pledge of Allegiance, an STD pamphlet, a menu from China Garden, and the back of Malox bottle and tell you the sky is blue. I cannot however, tell you what's going on in Thad's mind.

Till next time...
